Are lc radiator tophat spacers the same top and bottom, mine only had them fitted to the top mounts. Looking on ebay they seem to be sold as pairs (upper or lower) are they different ?

From my poor memory, two are the same on the left and two on the right rather than top and bottom.

Thanks for the replies, I think mine are the longer ones.
Is there a reason for them to be lop sided ?.
Great diagram that, the grommets are different as well.
Cheers Trevor

It allows the radiator to expand without any stress

I take it the same rationale is applied to the ypvs 31k rad? Mine only has two fixing bolts and bushes (1 either side at the bottom of the rad) and a rubber bung/grommet at the top. Rubber mounting bushes are the same on either side but the metal sleeve spacers are slightly different lengths. One (the longer one) is a slightly loose fit with a couple of mm lateral movement This will allow the rad to expand slightly as it gets hot without stressing the mount lugs. All makes sense now  John |

Every day is a school day. I knew there were 2 sizes but thought they differed top to battom, not left to right. Thanks for the info.

Yes, from memory the rad is fixed on one end and can float on the other end with the longer bushes.
